The easiest way to gain weight is to eat more calories than you burn off in a day. This just means more food, and not necessarily any particular type of food. Eat a balanced diet with lots of calorie dense foods - nuts, seeds, avocados, etc.

Eating is the first and most important factor that is needed to gain weight. It's simple - you need to eat more calories than you burn. This does not mean eating anything and everything that is not nailed down. Carefully plan your meals with foods that will help you gain lean mass, not fat. I suggest 6 meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three other small meals scheduled throughout the day. The goal is to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours.
Focus on foods such as steak, chicken, fruit, milk, vegetables, cheese and assorted types of nuts. It's recommended to eat 4 - 6 pieces of fresh fruit a day, and at least four tall glasses of milk. Milk is a great, cheap protein source - take advantage of it. A sample snack meal would be a glass of milk, an apple, and a hand full of peanuts.
Take time to lay out a meal plan. What you eat is the most important ingredient in a successful weight gain program.

No fatty food is not a good idea, unless you want to feel unwell and exhausted. The best thing (and this is garanteed to work as it did for me and I was stick thin) is to invest in a really good protein powder. If you're vegetarian/don't eat dairy you can find powders made from brown rice protein. Have that in a smoothie everyday as well as eating normally - lots of wholegrains and potatoes - and I promise you the weight will go on.

Try some protein shakes. You can get more ideas from your local gym or GNC. You don't want to gain weight by eating a lot of fat that isn't good for you.

Depends if you want weight or mass.
Weight, you need protein to bulk up your muscle. Also, you need to exercise to turn it in to muscle.
Mass, you need fats. Animal fat is really best if you want to put on unhealthy wieght. Plant fats are healthy & good for your body.

Eat more, but eat well. May not be as easy as eating a box of donuts, but will be better for you.
